A Hills Finale and an Awards Show


So tonight is what all Hills fans have been waiting for...the Heidi/Spencer wedding which marks the season finale. As far as episodes go, this one was pretty good. It was a good season finale. Although, this season was short lived.

Here are my thoughts in bullet form...

  • First of all I'm sad that Lauren is no longer going to be on the show but if she feels like its time for her to move on, then it's time for her to move on. She's had a great run, with being in Laguna Beach and The Hills, and if I were her I would also feel like its time for me to move on with my life. She's just outgrown being a reality star and thats cool. It happens. The show just wont be the same without her.
  • Although the show wont be the same without Lauren, it looks like Kristen will bring some drama. I never really liked Kristen all that much but I'll still watch (at least the first episode) the show. I mean this whole show is basically a bunch of drama, and we all know Kristen will bring a lot to the show. I, as probably many people, find drama entertaining, when it's not involving me of course. And wtf was up with Kristen wearing the same color as Lauren? MTV didn't set that one up at all... And that smirk on her face when she walked into the church...seriously!?
  • Heidi probably should have picked Stephanie as her maid of honor. I understand that Holly is her sister and everything but she was not a very good maid of honor. She showed up late for the bachelorette party, didn't write down information for the thank you cards, she made a scene at the rehearsal dinner, and that speech...wtf was up with that speech? And how can you say throwing food at someone is not rude!? Seriously!? Even if its just a joke, that is rude, especially it being at a wedding rehearsal dinner. I agree with Spencer this time. And I don't blame Heidi for getting mad about it landing on her purse. I would get mad too. Even though it was a tiny spot, it was still a spot nonetheless on a very expensive new purse. Holly had to of been drunk at the rehersal dinner because she was definatly acting up.
  • Brody was being a little bit mean to Spencer. I kinda felt bad for him for a second. I think he is honestly trying to change, but its not going to happen over night. It's going to take a lot of time. I just think Brody was being a little bit too harsh on Spencer.
  • I'm glad Spencer made things right with Heidi's mom. He can't get married to someone and not get along with her mom.
  • I'm glad that Lauren did decided to go to the wedding. I really hope someday her and Spencer really bury the hatchet and her and Heidi become best friends again. I know...it's wishful thinking. Although I'm not surprised that Lauren left right after the wedding. But it was a good "send off" for her.
  • I was actually kinda surprised that Brody and Jayde were seen at Lauren and Lo's party considering Audrina was there. Maybe they have all buried the hatchet??
So I think that covers all of the episode. I'm super excited for it to return in the fall. I'll watch the first episode with Kristen but if it sucks I probably won't watch anymore of it. I hope its still as good as when Lauren was on it. But I don't know... I guess we'll see.

What were your thoughts on the season finale?

Considering this was a special night, with The Hills being on a Sunday night, the MTV Movie Awards were also on.

First of all, I'm sooooo glad Miley Cyrus won for best song in a movie. The Climb is one of her best songs and she totally deserves this award. Not to mention she looked beautiful...but doesn't she always?

And another thing I loved about the show...Shia LeBeouf looks soooo hot! And that preview for Transformers looked so good! I can't wait til it comes out to theaters! Speaking of previews...Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince preview also looked sooo good. And Danial Radcliff was really funny when he was announcing it. I love Harry Potter and I can't wait to go see the new movie with my grandma and cousins, like we do every year a Harry Potter movie comes out. I'll have to re read the book first! So while were on the topic of previews, how about that Twilight, New Moon, preview. I've seen the first one, and it was alright. I didn't think it was the best movie I've ever seen. I've never read the books, but I plan to, and I'm sure the book will be so much better than the movie. I'll definatly read the New Moon book before I see the movie.

Since were on the topic of Twilight, and I know I'll probably get a lot of stuff about this, but I don't think they deserved all the awards they won. I think the reason they won all those awards was because of all the teeny boppers that watched that movie. They voted based on looks, whatever, but they really didn't vote based on what the award was. For example, I think the only reason Robert Pattinson won breakthrough male was because all the teenage girls thinks he is hot. (Which I don't think he is that hot. I think Taylor is hotter.) But I understand why Taylor didn't win breakthrough male. He wasn't in the first movie much. Maybe next year he will win breakthrough performance since he will be in New Moon way more than the first. And I don't think Kristen Stewert was the best actress in the breakthrough actress categroy. And why was she acting so awkward in front of the camera...not to mention the whole dropping her award thing?? I really don't think they deserved the best movie award. The movie was not nearly as good as the book (so I've been told) and it wasn't the best movie in general. I've never seen The Dark Knight, but I have heard that movie was fantastic, so I think The Dark Knight should have won for best movie. And there were way better kisses that were nominated for best kiss, then the kiss that Bella and Edward shared. I guess I just don't think movies that aren't to dvd yet, should be nominated. I really don't think its fair. And for best fight...in my opinion, that wasn't the best fight I've ever seen, and I think Pinapple Express should have won.

So anyway, that was my rant for this post...I guess I can talk about some other things...

Like what was up with Zac Efron's hair? I love long hair on men, but that little curly peice of hair in front of his face should have been sweapt off to the side. His hair just really needed trimmed. And what was up with Ben Stillers hair?? Ok, so I guess I needed to rant a little more :P

Another thing...What was up with Eminem and him leaving the show after that skit with Bruno? Was that staged or was Eminem really pissed off?? What are your thoughts?

Anyway, I think I covered everything...If I missed anything please leave a comment. What did you all think of the awards?

Top Five Tuesday--Reality TV

Last week I counted down my top five favorite tv shows- drama. This week I'll countdown my top five favorite reality tv shows.

I'm obsessed with reality tv. I love it, despite most reality shows being kinda fake. I do have a few favorites, however. So, lets start the countdown!

#5

Jon and Kate Plus 8



I do realize that I did just start watching this show this weekend...but I realized that I actually didn't have as many favorite reality shows as I thought. I've been obsessed with it all weekend and it's pretty much the only thing I've been watching all weekend. I love it after only watching it for a few days. And I'm excited for the upcoming season!

#4

The Real World



It's the original reality show and I've been watching this show since the season of Back to New York, which was the 10th season. Unfortunately, I didn't watch this past season, Brooklyn, because of the fact that I didn't have cable for awhile, but I will watch the next marking it the 22nd season. Some of my favorite seasons include: San Diego, Austin, and Denver. I can't wait for the new season to come out so I can start getting into this show again.

#3

Keeping Up With The Kardashians



I started watching this show halfway through season one and I loved it. I did see all of seasons two and three. I don't think there is word about a fourth season but I hope there is. I'm also super excited for Kourtney and Khloe's spin off show about them moving to Miami to open up a new Dash store.

#2

The Hills



I loved Laguna Beach and Lauren was one of my favorites so I was really excited that she was getting her own show. I've watched it from the beginning and I will continue to watch it despite the fact that Lauren is leaving the show. I'm very saddened about it, and the show was originally about her, but the show must go on, right?

And my number one favorite reality tv show...

THE GIRLS NEXT DOOR



I actually didn't start watching this from the beginning but I remember watching it one day on E! and I loved it! Holly, Bridget, and Kendra are so entertaining to watch and they are so funny. I'm really sad that all of them have left the mansion but it was time for them all to go on with thier lives. I don't really like the new twins, Hef, has, and I don't know anything about his other new girlfriend, so I'm not sure how the 6th season will go, but I will watch anyway. Holly, Bridget, and Kendra are all still doing things together, so hopfully they will be in the new season, despite the fact they are no longer at the mansion. They are the original girls next door and there shouldn't be new girls. This show started with Holly, Bridget, and Kendra, and thats how it should end. I'm super excited for Kendra's new show coming in a couple week and I love Bridget's new show. I own seasons one, two, and three on DVD and as soon as I get the money I'll but the other two seasons that are out.

Where they you have it, my picks for top 5 reality tv show. What's yours?

A Season Premier and an Almost Season Finale

Since One Tree Hill is over for the season, and there are new shows I've been watching that air on Monday nights, my Monday night TV lineup has changed. There is, however, a tough decision I had to make. Do I watch Jon and Kate Plus 8 or Charm School at 9:00? Since I know that VH1 will replay Charm School again soon, and I don't watch TLC enough to know how often they will replay J&K+8, I decided to go with Jon and Kate Plus 8 for my new 9:00 slot. Of course after that The Hills, which I had to choose over the season finale of Keeping Up With The Kardashians (but of course E! will show that many times as well.)

So lets get to it shall we?

Jon and Kate Plus 8


So, like I said in my last post, I just started watching this show this weekend during the Memorial Day Weekend marathon and I love it already! Tonight's episode marked the 5th season's premier. And as we all know, from reading all those tabloid magazines, that there are rumors of Jon cheating on Kate, and that their marriage is falling apart, etc, etc. So half of this episode was Jon and Kate, discussing everything on their interview set, at separate times. I actually feel really bad for both of them. Who really knows if these rumors are true or not? The only people that know are Jon and Kate themselves and we can only go on what they say. Jon says he did not cheat so its up to us to believe him or not, either way he doesn't care. It sucks about the way he feels about being in the limelight and everything but he did put that upon himself for agreeing to do this show. And like he did say, he knows that, but he also said that at the beginning this show was about the children and now its become something totally different. It's not just about the kids anymore and he can't go anywhere without the paps being there to take pictures of him wherever he goes.

This is also how it is with Kate, of course. Even when she took the kids to the party store to get supplies for their birthday party. There the paps were...ready to take pictures of them. Which to me is really rude and inconsiderate. I mean, its not just the adult in this scenario, the children are there too, and its just rude and inconsiderate of them to do that. But that's how they are suppose to be. They are suppose to do whatever they can to get a picture, even if it means being rude and inconsiderate. I also feel sorry for Kate for having to put the whole party together, by herself, and to have to deal with 8 kids all by herself. Like, I know Jon is going through something and he needs a break, but seriously!?

The other half of the episode what celebrating the sextuplets 5th birthday. And of course they were so freakin' adorable the whole time. Those are the one's I feel sorry for the most. They are so innocent and they don't really know what is going on because they are so young. All they probably know is that Mommy and Daddy are fighting and they aren't together in the same place as much so they don't see one of them as much as the other at a given time. I just hope that one day they will understand and wont have hatred toward one parent or whatever. I really hope that Jon and Kate can make things work for the kids and I hope they are able to overcome this thing. I mean, they just renewed thier wedding vows and bought a new house so I hope it wasn't all for nothing. I'm one that doesn't understand how you can just not make your relationship work if you really truely love the other person. I think that if you really love the other person you can make it work, you just have to try really hard. And if it doesn't, you didn't try hard enough.

But anyway, I noticed the show went over the allotted time slot of one hour by like almost 15 mins. But I was glad that when it did end both Jon and Kate were eating a meal together with their children.

The Hills

So since Jon and Kate Plus 8 ended a little late, I missed the first few minutes of The Hills but I think the only thing I missed was Heidi looking at dresses. I tuned in while Lauren, Audrina, Stephanie, and Lo were all out to lunch.

Here are my thoughts of this episode...in bullet points :)

  • I think Kelly was a bitch to Stephanie. Stephanie was trying to be nice to her and all Kelly could do was be rude. I mean, she could of at least pretended to be nice back to her.
  • I think Brody was being an ass about the whole Audrina/Jayde ordeal. I understand that Jayde is his girlfriend and he loves her, but Audrina has been his friend for years. I think he should have been the middle man and tried and make things right between the two of them. But whatever!
  • I also think Spencer was being an ass when Heidi asked him from the bottom of her heart, to apologize to Lauren. But I'm glad he did end up doing it. It probably wasn't sincere but at least he did it for Heidi because he loves her and I'm sure he really did want to show her he's changed.
I'm pretty excited for the season finale, which is on Sunday, right before the MTV movie awards, at a special time of 8 pm. I don't really know why they are doing this, but whatever...

I'm glad Lauren decided to go to the wedding so I'm excited to see what happens. It also looks like Spencer talks to Heidi's mom about what's going on between them, and something Heidi's sister is upset about Spencer. Oh, the drama =)

And They All Lived Happily Ever After


One Tree Hill

This season of One Tree Hill has been a whirlwind for the residents of Tree Hill, North Carolina. Lets take a look back of some of the more crazier times this year...
  • Crazy Nanny Carrie comes back and takes Dan hostage in order to get Jamie back
  • Brooke is attacked in her store while getting her design sketches stolen from her
  • Quentin is unexpectedly shot because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time
  • Sam is kidnapped by the same guy who beat up Brooke and killed Quentin
  • Haley gets fired for publishing Sam's amazing life story in the school paper
  • Peyton finds out she is pregnant but if she goes through with it she may die
But despite all of the crazy things that have happened this year everyone ends up with a happy ending. Yes, thats right! Everyone on this season's finale of One Tree Hill got their happy ever after!

Even Lucas and Peyton, who in last week's episode had a bit of a scare. Peyton had her baby...who was an adorable baby girl...and after four days in a coma, woke up and was fine. She even named her baby Sawyer Brooke Scott. Seriously!? Its just like Jamie's name with the maden name for the first name and the best friend for the middle name. The writers couldn't have come up with a better baby name than that? And then at the end they go for a ride in the newly renovated Comet...but come next season...they don't come back. So they go for a car ride and never come back. Seriously!? They couldn't come up with a better send off for those two?

Anyway lets go on to the other happily ever afters of this years season finale...

Nathan finally gets called in to the NBA! And I'm so proud of him! He has definatly made a come back.

Brooke and her mom are finally at a good place. If it wasn't for her Brooke would never have had her happy ending with Jullian. If it wasn't for her Brooke probably would never have went to LA to tell Jullian how she really feels. But I couldn't believe that she gave up her part of the buisness and gave it all to Brooke. But Brooke deserves it since she is the one that built that buisness from the ground up. It kinda sucked, though, that Sam wasn't in this episode.

Even the other couples in this show got happy endings.

One person that didn't get so much of a happy ending is Dan. But with the circumstances that is understandable. But he didn't have it so bad. I did however, for a second, thought maybe he would try committing suicide again. I'm glad he didn't though. He's the only parent, since the beginning, that has stayed on the show. It was also very nice of Peyton to let him hold little Sawyer. I was very surprised she did, however.

Speaking of past adult characters...I was so happy to see Karen and Whitey on this episode. I was surprised they weren't in the last episode considering it was the wedding but whatever.

Now we all have to wait about five months or so until we find out what happens. But there wasn't any cliffhangers this time around. It was like they wrote the episode just in case the show would'nt come back and that was the series finale. But I'm not sure how much longer this show is going to last with Lucas or Peyton. I will be sad when the show ends but it's had a good run. I guess we'll talk about that when the time comes



The Hills

Now its not Monday Night TV Night without The Hills. This week Lauren fires Stephanie and Spencer meets Heidi's biological dad.

I guess Heidi and Spencer have gotten better since the whole bartender Stacie thing. Which I guess is good. Now he has to meet her dad and get his permission to marry her once and for all. Which he does and then proposes again! Did you see the size of the rock he gave her!? It was huge...but pretty none the less. So it looks like now they are finally going to tye the knot. (Which we all know they do)

Then we have Stephanie who cries when Lauren fires her. She seriously didn't see it coming? She was doing a horrible job and I guess she was the only one who didn't see it. I guess she was just having a bad week because they guy she went out with from the band The White Tie Affair broke it to her that he has a girlfriend...that he lives with. Maybe he should have told her that before they went out. What a good boyfriend he was for going out with another girl.

So next week Spencer calls up Lauren, Heidi goes dress shopping, and Stephanie invites Lauren to the wedding. I guess we'll have to see how that all pans out.

Monday Night TV Night

Its Monday night, and for me that means its TV night! I used to have TV night with my friend Jackie, but she now works on Mondays =( Oh well...I can still have TV night by myself right? Before I moved into the apartment if I couldn't go over to Jackie's on Mondays I would have to wait until my shows were uploaded on the internet. Now, I'm so excited that I can actually watch my shows on time! So every Monday its always One Tree Hill and The Hills.

One Tree Hill

So for this week on One Tree Hill, its the wedding day every One Tree Hill fan has been waiting for. Well, if your an avid fan of Lucas and Peyton that is. I never really was a fan of those to because I have always been on Team Brooke. But since everyone all knows...it has always been and will always be, Lucas and Peyton. But they are starting to grow on me. And I do have to say Peyton looks very pretty in that wedding dress and being 8 months pregnant. Speaking of, the time sure has gone by fast this season. I can't believe she is 8 months already!

Here are my thoughts
  • Jullian bringing "movie Brooke" to the wedding to make Brooke jealous...Are you kidding me!? How lame! And he is even more lame for saying what he did about 98 degrees.
  • Movie Brooke is so annoying!
  • I love love love Brooke's bridesmaid dress. Its soo pretty!
  • I can't believe Haley is the minister but she did a pretty good job.
  • Jamie is such a cutie! But isn't he always?? But he is adorable in that little outfit and that little hat. So cute!
  • Lucas is so sweet for decorating the house like he did and fixing up the comet to surprise Peyton after their wedding.
  • I knew something was gonna happen to Peyton at the end...it was kinda obvious...but I thought her water was going to break or something and she would go into labor, I was not expecting her to start bleeding.
  • And I can't believe that Nathan didn't get a call for the NBA and skipped practice. I feel so bad for him.
  • Victoria is such a bitch...excuse my language...but its true. Why does she always have to bring up the name of the company being "clothes over bros?" Who cares!? Just because the name of Brooke's company is clothes over bros does not mean she can never have a boyfriend and someday get married!

Here are the things I find hilarious
  • Skills has Jamie on a short leash (literally) which is understandable considering, like Skills said, what happened at Lucas' last wedding.
  • Everyone is talking about "slutty, wedding sex" which Nathan and Haley did have.
  • Mouth doing his little spoof of "The Blair Witch Project."
  • What Nathan said to Lucas about his almost wedding with Lindsey.
  • Haley quoting Poison in her speech.
  • Brooke drags Nick Lachey from the studio while he is in the middle of recording a song, to be her date for the wedding reception
This wedding was so cute! Everytime I see a wedding it makes me want to play my own. But my time will come within the next few years (hopefully). Anyway, all together, it was a pretty good episode.

Next week,

I'm so excited for season finale...but I am not excited for a summer hiatus! I hope Peyton doesn't die but I wouldn't put it past the writers since Hilary isn't coming back next season.

The Hills

Here are my thoughts
  • Stephanie is really stupid! Lauren gets her an internship and she is just throwing it all away because she doesn't listen and doesn't do what she is told to do. Of course she doesn't pack the pieces that Lauren asks her to pack, or even remember Lauren telling her for that matter. And of course your not doing that great, Stephanie...what tipped ya off?? And why didn't Lauren just fire here after she got back from talking with her boss and Stephanie asked her "how bad was it?"
  • Justin Bobby is such a loser! I'm so glad that Audrina is finally telling him to get lost and to not call her. If only he would stop chasing her and crying like a baby. And what is up with his outfit...those pants and those black and white stripped socks with combat boots! Seriously!? Well he was never the classiest dresser.
  • Stacie is such a stupid bitch, excuse my language again...but seriously!? She obviously just wants on air time and wants to be on this show. She is so two-faced. Who goes after another girl's boyfriend. I hate girls like that!
  • Then again, Heidi should have learned by now that Spencer is a loser and that he is not going to change. But at least they are trying to make it work by going to couple's counseling. But then again, they are the two people on this show that I have always thought were faking the whole time just for the publicity and the money. Ahh...who knows!?
Next week,

Seriously!? Spencer is proposing to Heidi again when they haven't even been working on thier relationship that long...I was never that confident on the reality of thier relationship. And why is Stephanie so upset about getting fired?? She is the one that brought that on herself.

Anway I'll be back next week to talk about the season finale of One Tree Hill and the next episode of The Hills
